When I say that I’m a simple person, I mean I’m just a step or two upslope of simpleton-simple. I like things to be straight forward in simple terms. Complicated things are best dealt with if they are easily related to stuff I already understand so I can grasp the big picture and the nuts and bolts of a thing at the same time. I am here to say that this week has failed me miserably. It started with me wanting some beef and my week somehow turned into a lesson on but...
I thank God you have no one close to you that is in the “immune compromised risk” grouping. I must read a different Bible than you, even though I sat in the same church you did for a number of years. My Bible says to submit to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake. So these mandates state to socially distance to keep COVID-19 from spreading. As you can see since May 24 — re-opening — 480 cases May 27 to June 16, 638 cases, the numbers have increased dramatically in Montana — and in the U.S. Your freedom oppresses m...
Editor, Shame on you Heidi Hill for praising a business that is not following our governor’s legal and constitutional directives. Not only are his directives not illegal, our state’s Constitution has granted him use of emergency powers. The governor has general direction and control of the emergency resources management within this state and all officers, boards, agencies, individuals, or groups established under the emergency resources management plan. Gov. Bullock issued Executive Orders 2-2020 and 3-2020 declaring tha...

Many of the ideas and scriptures for this article are from the devotional “God Wants You To Win!” by world-champion calf roper Jeff Copenhaver. Psalm 118:6 The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? The psalmist tells us that the Lord is on our side. We are instructed not to fear. He even asks the question, “What can man do to me?” Fear of anything other than a reverential awe of God can be a problem for us. Sometimes we get analysis paralysis when we have a decision to make and can’t f...
When the phone rang, I answered, “Barrows residence, Vicki speaking.” My sister Deb’s familiar voice replied, “Hi, I’m calling to update you on Dad’s condition. I know you have a lot going on at church, but I think you should try to get away as soon as possible to come and see him. He’s failing quickly.” So, I booked a flight and packed my bags. On the way to Arizona I prayed for Dad, for our family, for strength, the same things many of you have prayed many times. Then I said, “Daddy God, I’m not expecting Dad to re...
DADS are special people No home should be without. For every family will agree. They're "SO NICE TO HAVE ABOUT." They are a happy mixture of a "Small Boy" and a "Man." And they're very necessary, In every "Family Plan." Sometimes they're most demanding, And stern, and firm and tough. But underneath they're "soft as silk" And this is just a "bluff." But in any kind of trouble, Dad reaches out his hand, And you can always count on him To help and understand. And while we do not...
